<div class="headline">Line graph for tseries objects</div>

<h4 id="syntax">Syntax</h4>
<pre><code>[H,Range] = plot(X,...)
[H,Range] = plot(Range,X,...)
[H,Range] = plot(Ax,Range,X,...)</code></pre>
<h4 id="input-arguments">Input arguments</h4>
<ul>
<li><p><code>Ax</code> [ numeric ] - Handle to axes in which the graph will be plotted; if not specified, the current axes will used.</p></li>
<li><p><code>Range</code> [ numeric ] - Date range; if not specified the entire range of the input tseries object will be plotted.</p></li>
<li><p><code>X</code> [ tseries ] - Input tseries object whose columns will be ploted as a line graph.</p></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="output-arguments">Output arguments</h4>
<ul>
<li><p><code>H</code> [ numeric ] - Handles to lines plotted.</p></li>
<li><p><code>Range</code> [ numeric ] - Actually plotted date range.</p></li>
</ul>
<h4 id="options">Options</h4>
<ul>
<li><p><code>'datePosition='</code> [ <em><code>'centre'</code></em> | <code>'end'</code> | <code>'start'</code> ] - Position of each date point within a given period span.</p></li>
<li><p><code>'dateTick='</code> [ numeric | <em><code>Inf</code></em> ] - Vector of dates locating tick marks on the X-axis; Inf means they will be created automatically.</p></li>
<li><p><code>'tight='</code> [ <code>true</code> | <em><code>false</code></em> ] - Make the y-axis tight.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>See help on built-in <code>plot</code> function for other options available.</p>
<h4 id="date-format-options">Date format options</h4>
<p>See <a href="../dates/dat2str.html"><code>dat2str</code></a> for details on date format options.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>'dateFormat='</code> [ char | cellstr | <em><code>'YYYYFP'</code></em> ] - Date format string, or array of format strings (possibly different for each date).</p></li>
<li><p><code>'freqLetters='</code> [ char | <em><code>'YHQBMW'</code></em> ] - Six letters used to represent the six possible frequencies of IRIS dates, in this order: yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, monthly, and weekly (such as the <code>'Q'</code> in <code>'2010Q1'</code>).</p></li>
<li><p><code>'months='</code> [ cellstr | <em><code>{'January',...,'December'}</code></em> ] - Twelve strings representing the names of the twelve months.</p></li>
<li><p><code>'standinMonth='</code> [ numeric | <code>'last'</code> | <em><code>1</code></em> ] - Month that will represent a lower-than-monthly-frequency date if the month is part of the date format string.</p></li>
